Chapter 4 checklist

• Enter Saronia; resolve north/south civil war plot

• Castle Hein: bring Scholar; defeat Hein
• Doga’s Manor & Unei’s Shrine story
• Falgabard: Dark Knight lore / jobs
• Ancients’ Maze: free Earth Crystal; late jobs online
• Crystal Tower / Eureka (Ch.5)

Saronia

1. Fly the airship to the massive city of Saronia (often split districts).
2. Talk through the civil war / king plot. Buy endgame-approaching gear.
3. Side buildings hold chests and job-specific weapons — sweep them.
4. Story points you at the flying menace Garuda.

Garuda — bring Dragoons

• Garuda is airborne; normal physicals often miss or whiff.
• Answer: 2–4 characters as Dragoon using Jump.
• Keep one healer if you run mixed; pure Dragoon squads also work if leveled.
• After victory: major story unlocks (airship / world access expands).

Castle Hein — Scholar required

1. Enter Castle Hein (illusion castle).
2. Dungeon uses false walls and elemental gimmicks.
3. Boss: Hein shifts elemental weaknesses constantly.
4. Answer: a leveled Scholar to scan / break his defenses each shift; rest of party nukes the revealed weakness.
5. Without Scholar, the fight is a miserable guessing game — train one.

Doga, Unei & Falgabard

1. Visit Doga’s Manor and complete his trials / dungeon.
2. Visit Unei (sleeping sage) and related shrine — wake her with story items from Doga.
3. Together they explain the Cloud of Darkness and open the path to the endgame structures.
4. Falgabard: village of Dark Knights; job/flavor unlocks; optional strong gear.

Ancients’ Maze & Earth Crystal

1. Enter the Ancients’ Maze (or equivalent earth dungeon).
2. Long, tough randoms — excellent job-level grinding.
3. Defeat guardians; awaken the Earth Crystal.
4. Late jobs unlock: Ninja Sage Dark Knight and endgame specialties.
5. Ninja dual-wield and Sage dual magic define many final parties; start investing CP now.
